Trends in Radiation Exposure With the Refinement of Radiation Exposure Categories in Congenital Cardiac Catheterization: Insights From the CRISP Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO) registry proposed 3-tier radiation exposure categories (REC: I [low], II [medium], and III [high]) consisting of 40 procedure types. This study sought to evaluate the recent trend of radiation exposure in the Catheterization Risk Score for Pediatrics (CRISP) registry organized by the Congenital Cardiovascular Interventional Study Consortium.

Methods

The analysis was conducted on a comprehensive data set from the CRISP registry, covering 13 institutions from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Radiation dosage in μGym²/kg was evaluated by REC, time, and institutions. The study period was divided into the first half (S1: 1/2016-6/2018) and the second half (S2: 7/2018-12/2020). Radiation
